ERASMUS and non-EU exchange cooperations

HCU holds ERASMUS Bilateral Agreements with numerous European partner universities, and Memorandi of Understanding with non-EU partners. If you'd like to do one or two exchange semesters at HafenCity University, your home university will have to hold a bilateral agreement or MOU with us.

EXCHANGE APPLICATION procedure:

- You cannot apply directly at HafenCity University

- You have to be accepted as outgoing exchange student by one of our partner universities. You have to be officially nominated by your home Exchange Office

- After we receive the official nomination by our partners, we will send an email containing all necessary information and application documents to you directly. The Exchange application documents therefore cannot be found on this website

- Please note the language prerequesites at HCU: upon application a minimium german level of A 2 is being asked for, except in civil engineering and geomatics, where the minimum german level is B 1

Free Mover

If you want to do a guest semester at HCU but your home university does not have an exchange cooperation with us, you may apply as Free Mover.

Applications as Free Mover are possible only within the general application periods. For the summer term these are: from 01. December until 15. January, for the winter term: from 01. June until 15. July.
